We’re seeking a Business Director, Product Strategy and Analysis, to support strategic priorities for the Consumer and Developer Experience (CDX) leadership team. CDX is an exciting space with diverse product responsibilities. The Consumer and Developer Experience (CDX) organization drives the critical platforms that power world-class digital engagement for our customers and best-in-class tools for the developers who build them. Our diverse portfolio spans the Capital One mobile app, advanced marketing and personalization engines, AI-driven platforms that transform how we build software, and essential enterprise risk and supplier capabilities. By unifying these consumer, developer, and enterprise operations, CDX accelerates our ability to modernize core systems, strengthen the company's risk posture, and deliver seamless experiences at massive scale.
The Business Director will join a horizontal product and strategy team that supports priorities across CDX. The product and strategy team serves as an internal engine for both vision and strategic alignment, occupying a unique space at the intersection of strategic advisory and product creation. We operate with the rigor of top-tier consulting to solve the organization’s hardest strategic questions, drive the annual planning process, and align our long-term priorities. At the same time, we are builders: we act as an innovation lab, developing prototypes and partnering closely with product and engineering teams to translate conceptual visions into tangible, scaled digital experiences. We are looking for a leader who thrives in this duality—someone who is equally energized by big-picture questions about where the world is going, thorny problems that require a strategic mindset and close partnership with product and tech teams, and hands-on building.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Specifically, the Business Director will:
- Partner with CDX leaders to define the business strategies for their respective areas
- Tackle thorny strategic questions throughout the business, using a consulting-style model
- Lead priority strategic initiatives for CDX, such as AI transformation
- Support the organization’s intelligence unit, providing analytics, landscape assessments, thematic deep dives, and more to help the organization see around corners and anticipate headwinds and tailwinds
- Set the vision for long-term product innovation, including partnering with engineering to deliver product prototypes
- Lead a fantastic team of strategy and product people leaders and ICs, investing heavily in their development and creating a pipeline of talent for the organization
- Obsess about internal and external customer satisfaction by establishing trusted, close touch relationships with key stakeholders throughout the company
- Cultivate a dynamic, customer centric and mission oriented Product culture, fostering collaboration, developing talent
- Role model AI adoption by inventing and spreading solutions that improve work efficiency, quality, and fun
The successful candidate will be a great strategic problem solver with a highly collaborative working style. They will excel at building relationships across organizational boundaries and using their strategy toolkit to drive consensus and impact. This leader should have the ability to work through ambiguity with an owner’s mindset and to build product strategy and processes that scale and adapt with growth and market shifts. This leader will be in an exciting position to drive business results, shape organizational culture, and impact both the associate and customer experiences.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding OPT Sponsorship in Product Director
Target companies with a STEM sponsorship track record
Director-level product roles require significant employer investment. Focus on companies that have sponsored H-1B visas for senior product hires before. Firms with established immigration programs move faster and rarely drop sponsorship mid-process.
Frame your OPT timeline during the offer stage
Disclose your OPT status before the offer letter, not after. Senior roles involve longer onboarding cycles, and HR needs lead time to initiate H-1B filing. Transparency at the offer stage prevents last-minute complications that derail otherwise strong candidacies.
Quantify product impact in terms executives care about
Revenue influenced, retention improved, and engineering hours saved are the metrics that justify Director-level sponsorship costs. Hiring managers need a business case for immigration spend. Concrete numbers give them exactly that without requiring internal advocacy on your behalf.
Prioritize companies filing H-1B in the October or April cap cycle
If your OPT expires mid-year, you need an employer who can file in the next available cap cycle. Confirm the company's fiscal year and HR readiness before accepting an offer. Timing misalignment is one of the most common OPT sponsorship failures at this level.
Lean on your STEM OPT extension if your degree qualifies
A STEM extension gives you 24 additional months on top of your initial 12, totaling 36 months of OPT. That window covers two H-1B lottery cycles, significantly improving your odds. Confirm your degree qualifies under the STEM designated degree program list before assuming eligibility.
Build internal champions before immigration conversations happen
At the Director level, sponsorship decisions often come from a VP or CPO, not HR alone. Establish trust with the hiring executive early. Leaders who want to retain strong product talent are far more likely to advocate internally for immigration support when it matters.
Product Director OPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Can F-1 OPT students work as a Product Director in the United States?
Yes. F-1 OPT authorizes you to work full-time in any role directly related to your degree field. Product Director positions typically require a degree in computer science, business, engineering, or a related discipline, which satisfies the OPT employment relationship requirement. Your role must align with your degree, not just your job title.
Do Product Director roles commonly come with H-1B sponsorship?
Many do, especially at mid-size and large tech companies where senior product leadership is a competitive hire. Because the cost of sponsoring a Director-level employee is small relative to total compensation, employers who want to retain strong candidates are usually willing to sponsor. Migrate Mate filters for sponsoring employers, making it easier to identify these opportunities without guesswork.
How does the 60-day grace period affect my job search for Product Director roles?
If your OPT ends or your employment terminates, you have a 60-day grace period to find a new employer. Product Director searches take longer than entry-level searches, so starting well before your OPT expires is critical. Use that grace period as a buffer, not a starting point. Roles at this level often take 6 to 12 weeks from first interview to signed offer.
Does a Product Director role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
It depends on your underlying degree, not the job title. If your degree is in a STEM-designated field, such as computer science, information systems, or engineering, and your employer meets the E-Verify requirement, the role can support a STEM extension. The extension is tied to your degree program, not to what the employer calls the position.
What should I disclose about my OPT status when interviewing for Product Director positions?
Disclose your work authorization status before the final offer stage, ideally when the conversation turns serious. At the Director level, employers are making a significant hiring investment and need time to engage immigration counsel. Being upfront signals professionalism and gives HR room to prepare. Waiting until after an offer is extended creates friction that can cause otherwise strong offers to fall through.
